History

History

Daryl Katz purchased the Edmonton Oilers in 2008 and brought with him the vision of what a downtown arena district could do to revitalize his hometown. With the arena deal in place between the Katz Group and City of Edmonton, the Edmonton Arena District (EAD) began to take shape as office towers, condos, a public plaza, hotel and plethora of entertainment options were announced. Rogers Place opened in 2016, heralding a new era of activity and excitement in Edmonton’s downtown. In July 2015, the EAD officially became known as ICE District and today, it acts as a beacon for residents, capital investment, business and tourists by offering a place where people can live, work and play all in the heart of our city. Phase One of ICE District is scheduled for completion in 2020.
